Increase in chat filter bypassers

Help and Feedback Platform Usage Support
#1

Since the forced migration to TextChatService, I have seen a sharp increase of players in my game bypassing the chat filter, posting racial slurs and any other profanities they can.

This has cost us time and money in getting more moderators to patrol the game and ban these players.

Here are my issues:

  1. The Ban API does a horrible job of detecting and banning alt accounts.

  2. Writing a script to detect these words and auto kick/ban the player could result in ROBLOX moderation on the game, due to having to write these profanities in the script (which would only be viewable server side, and unviewable by the client).

Apologies if this isn’t the correct topic to make this post in.

You should post this in #bug-reports so it can actually get the attention of Roblox admins. This isn’t the best category if you want them to notice it.
